My favorite Casey story is "bird in the cap". I've heard a couple different versions of it, but here's what wiki says:

The jeers turned to cheers, and Stengel became an instant favorite.

My favorite Casey story was when he was manager of the Mets. they signed 2 19-year-olds, Ed Kranepool and Greg Goosen. The reporters asked how good they could be, Casey said:

"In ten years, Mr. Kranepool has a very good chance of being an all-star."

"How about Goosen?"

"In ten years, Mr. Goosen has a very good chance of being 29."

Giving this more time due to extreme budget analysis drudgery today, at first I thought of Mike Schmidt, since he struck out a Schmidt-load of times, but never led the league in his MVP season. And then, it hit me:

Zoilo Versalles

Who Topps called "Zorro" for several seasons since Zoilo didn't make much sense, I suppose:

with Ichiro still 2 hits away from 3000 (failing to achieve it in Miami and off to Chicago); it got me wondering where each member of the club got their 3000th hit... so figured it might be a fun question to resurrect the trivia thread:


What city has seen the most players get their 3000th career hit? (disclaimer: Cap Anson shows as 'unknown', so only including the 28 other members).
